Does wind direction matter in summer on deeper fish?
As I fish more, I'm beginning to notice things like wind direction and my catch numbers. For Bass it isn't too bad, I chase the wind and catch fish on the windblown shoreline.
For black crappie in summer, I usually am fishing around deeper weed edges around the main lake. I've located certain spots seem to maintain fish all summer long. UNLESS there is an east wind -then they just seem to get lockjaw. Why is this? Many times I have gone out and just slayed fish. Go back under similar conditions, except the wind is a different direction, and can't catch a thing. I can see fish on the finder, I can even see crappie on the camera, but they aren't biting.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there some weather/wind rule I should know about before hitting the water next time?
